At 70, the best move is just to rent when you come to the Philippines. No need to worry about upkeep. If you were a lot younger, like in your early 60s, buying would make some sense

I've had the sisig, a really tasty and filling meal.

King Harald 'Bluetooth' Gormsson was a Viking, not a pirate.
Phones are a big cause, but in my experience it's far more often a group of family or friends walking five abreast who couldn't care less that they're in everyone's way. I don't say anything confrontational, but I don't make myself smaller and I don't step aside. Funny thing is, I've spent quite a while in Japan and it's even worse there. People are even more glued to their phones and completely oblivious when they walk. Sidewalks and train stations are total chaos, and then you add bicycles to the mix. For a society that puts so much weight on rules and norms, it feels contradictory.


Filipino here. Never take a taxi, they'll charge you outrageous fares. Always use Grab
She's telling him to stop looking at memes, so this is a joke dub, not the movie's real dub.
An expat lives outside their home country, often temporarily, while an immigrant moves to another country to settle. Tourists get a non-immigrant visa, so legally they're non-immigrants. That's why the term expat is appropriate.
A Philippine lawyer won't help you here. Since you're marrying under Utah jurisdiction, you need a US attorney to draft a US prenup. A Philippine prenup governs the Philippine marital property regime, but it doesn't cover US assets or divorce scenarios. On top of that, for a US prenup to hold up, your partner usually needs her own independent US lawyer to review the document (which you can pay for). You said elsewhere that you can't afford a US attorney, but I'd argue you can't afford not to have one, unless you just want to go into the marriage without a prenup and hope for the best.
This used to be popular at company parties and summer team-building events. That was before the pandemic, though. The company I work for scrapped summer outings completely, and everyone seems fine with it.

You guys aren't reading the post properly. This person is already here in the Philippines and is learning the hard way. The options you're suggesting won't work for them because they're in the Philippines now and can't activate on a US tower. The best thing I can suggest is to have a friend or family member in the US activate a Tello SIM card and mail it over.
Alaminos is close by. They have good longganisa.
I knew a cashier who described their job as "overseeing micro transactions for a multi-billion-dollar company."
Wtf 🤣 are you sure he's not your boyfriend's sugar daddy?
I've got maid's quarters and a dirty kitchen. Depending on age and looks, it could turn into 24/7 volunteer work with benefits.


For a second I thought I was on Confusing Perspectives.
Siargao is really expensive. A single T-shirt starts at 500
Please compare the previous kWh with the recent one.. I saw a post from someone with the same issue, and it later turned out Noreco had made a mistake — when they checked their meter, it didn't match what the Noreco staff put on the bill. They went to the office, got it fixed, and paid only about 4k instead of 8k.. just sharing in case it helps.
He was hiding! You found him.
Honestly, what you're describing is often just two predators finding each other. If you think these relationships aren't a win for both sides, you're fooling yourself. That said, fat old men who'd never even get a shot at dating a woman in the States can go to the Philippines, land someone way out of their league, and find young girls more than happy to bleed them dry. Usually these are girls with nothing to offer except being young and sex. Barely any life skills, no education, and no ability to think for themselves. In a lot of the cases I've seen, they weren't even functioning adults. Often it's a match made in heaven. They deserve each other.
Honestly, getting old is tiring. The energy isn't always there. Getting things done in a foreign country is sometimes hard. Even small repairs, for example, feel like a big deal when you're trying to communicate at a hardware store that doesn't have much on hand. Death is a strange thing. We're here, living day to day, and then one day we suddenly stop existing. It scares me too sometimes. Nobody ever told us why we're here, so I made my own purpose. I want to give my partner (me 67, her 40) and our daughter a good life. Our girl is in college now and I'm so proud of her. Helping fill their lives with opportunity and happiness is enough for me. I have good friends here and a sweet woman. I have a nice motorcycle that's real therapy for me. I love traveling, and I don't love working out but I still do it. What I've realized is that life is day to day, so it's best to enjoy every moment.
